The Make-A-Wish Foundation® yesterday launched a new digital platform, to support the first-ever World Wish Day® on April 29.

The new interactive experience will give visitors from all around the world the opportunity to donate by tossing a "coin" into a virtual fountain and see wishes around the world.

In honour of this global celebration of wish granting, every Make-A-Wish® affiliate and chapter around the world will grant and publicly dedicate at least one wish on April 29 to World Wish Day, representing a wish being granted in over 35 countries on this special day.

This inaugural global day of wish granting will also mark the 30th anniversary of the wish that inspired the creation of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, to a boy named Chris, who wished to be a police officer. The day aims to support the organization in its central mission of granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich their lives with hope, strength and joy.
